| Summary: | Social participation is identified as one of the fundamental goals of inclusive education. However, children with exceptionalities (CWE) continue to experience difficulties with social acceptance, positive interactions with typically developing peers, and forming friendships. These challenges were further compounded by the sudden transition to distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study then aimed to identify the needs of CWE in online inclusive settings, propose measures to address the derived needs and propose a program that outlines steps to achieve E-inclusion for CWEs. The study utilized an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis research design and focused on the lived experiences of twelve general and special education teachers from Grades 1 to 6. Their narratives were analyzed using Charlick and colleague’s seven steps for IPA analysis. From there, thirteen sub-themes emerged which were narrowed down to four main themes. The themes were further subjected to a S.W.O.T analysis. These combined provided findings that led to the development of the Needs-Based Social Participation Program Proposal. The study concluded with practical recommendations for educators and implications for future researchers. |
